BOSTON FLOUR AND GRAIN.
FLoUR.-The market continues quiet and
there is very little life to the trade. Prices
are nominally held about the same and are
fairly sustained as the goods are wanted,
but the demand is slack and liberal con-
cessions would have to be made to place
round lots ahead. Spring patents are doing
well, with some special brands exceed
ing quotations. Low grades are dull.

THE WOOL MARKET.
THE market has ruled exceedingly quiet
throughout the week The extreme hot
weather has somewhat aggravated the
natural quietness of the market and for the
season of the year the sales are extra
ordinarily light 1t is remarkable, but it is
true, that there has been no weakening il
price manifested anywhere, the question o
: rise or fall apparently depending on the
staying powers of dealers and manu-
facturers and the continuation of the
( strained position of the money market

: Michigan No. l at 81 to 3Sc, Maine super
